Method

  1. Make the dressing

    In a small jar, combine the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, oregano, garlic and salt. Shake until emulsified.

  2. Chop everything

    Chop the romaine and cut the salami and provolone into small, even pieces so every forkful has a bit of everything.

  3. Assemble

    Add the romaine, chickpeas, salami, provolone, tomatoes, onion, pepperoncini and olives to a large bowl.

  4. Dress and toss

    Pour over the dressing and toss well. Top with Parmesan and serve right away while the lettuce is crisp.

Kitchen notes

  • Soak the sliced onion in cold water for 10 minutes to mellow its bite.
  • Dress just before serving to keep everything crunchy.
  • Make it a meal by adding grilled chicken.
